Tropical Sun Cassava Cassareep – 350ml

Tropical Sun Cassava Cassareep is a traditional Guyanese-style cooking sauce made from cassava extract and caramel, designed to add deep colour and a distinctive bittersweet, spiced flavour to Caribbean dishes. It is a core ingredient in classic recipes like pepperpot and rich stews.

Description

Cassareep is produced by reducing cassava juice and blending it with caramel colouring, sugar, salt, water, and warming spices. The result is a dark, syrupy liquid with a slightly smoky, earthy sweetness and mild spice undertone. It is not a hot sauce, but a flavouring and browning agent used in cooking.

It is most commonly used in:

  • Guyanese pepperpot (its signature dish application)
  • Caribbean stews and slow-cooked meats
  • Sauces and gravies for depth and colour
  • Rice and savoury dishes where a dark, rich finish is needed

In cooking, cassareep acts as both a flavour enhancer and colouring agent, giving dishes a deep brown appearance and a subtle complex taste. It is often used in small quantities due to its concentrated nature.
